I love the train but hate the app. It desconects and the speed is not accurate with the train.

Unpairs with the engine when my lock screen comes on (whenever I put the phone down or stop clicking on something for a few seconds) which means this app is essentially useless. When paired, the app works fairly well. There is a delay of a few seconds before throttle commands are executed which is a little frustrating. The developer seems to think this unpairing issue is an android problem. If so, why does no other Bluetooth app have this issue? Why is your app the only one that has this problem? Perhaps you need to get a second opinion.
